Afaik HiassofT told, that isnt more needed in LE 10.

CvH

can you estimate, how much betas will come before final release?

I smell / hope Beta4 will last one before final release

Hi,

so, whats your message ?

Suggestion:

Why are there no more Cats in blogpost pictures ?

Ok, i save :

rsync.exe -av --delete -e ssh [email protected]:/storage/ /cygdrive/d/test/ --rsync-path=/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.network-tools/bin/rsync

So, i make a fresh install LE on a new usb stick.

How can i restore my backup to this new stick?

ok, now something happens...

let me have a look.

Thanks vpeter

Why did you gone from LE Team?

Quote from vpeter

This argument is probably needed

Code

--rsync-path=/storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.network-tools/bin/rsync

I dont know how

Quote from CvH

exactly, for windows it looks like

rsync.exe -av --delete -e ssh [email protected]:/storage/ /cygdrive/d/test/

/cygdrive/d/test/ translates to D:\test\ where the files should be copied at windows host

/storage/ is the path at Libreelec

--delete deletes if nessesary files at backup destination, so if you delete it at LE it gets deleted there too, if you remove it from the commandline you just add stuff to the folder and never removes anything

Nope, doesnt work:

rsync.exe -av --delete -e ssh [email protected]:/storage/ /cygdrive/d/test/

[email protected]'s password:

sh: rsync: not found

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]

rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(228) [Receiver=3.2.4dev]

I installed network tools from LE Repo and reboot...

Quote from CvH

pls post complete commandline

I did:

C:\Program Files\CygSSH\bin>rsync.exe -av --delete -e ssh [email protected]

Zugriff verweigert

Doesnt work

C:\Program Files\CygSSH\bin>rsync.exe -av --delete -e ssh [email protected]

Zugriff verweigert

you can use cygwin or WSL or for example GitHub - Bill-Stewart/CygSSH: A convenient packaging of the Cygwin port of OpenSSH

C:\Program Files\CygSSH\bin>rsync.exe -av --delete -e ssh [email protected]:/storage/.kodi/ /cygdrive/d/test/

syncing my /storage/.kodi/ from my kodi box (192.168.0.222)to d:\test

takes 20sec after first run to take a backup from my current LE

works also at every unix based system if you have a rsync there

Ok, ill take a look.

Is there an optio to save all? (not .kodi folder)

Hmm. i didnt found a good tool.

Save LE settings are not a good backup solution imho... and siwtch back to save the complete 32 GB via windisk32 imager.

What a pity

Quote from CvH

do you want to save LE to Windows ?

Best case is save the complete image to my nas

I have MAC and Windows (and QNAP Nas)

Quote from Klojum

You do what works for you.

Then you're using the wrong image tool.

Can you tell me the right image tool ?

Quote from CvH

You can use rsync to backup frequently, even while you use your system. Takes maybe a minute or so.

Cool!

Maybe a link to read how it works ? Much appreciate it

But it is much easier to backup the image.

With gparted i can change the storage size but the image tool saves however the complete usb disk size ...
